A.N: So sorry, I needed to finish my online driving test by the end of this week. Then I had to prepare for Winter Formal this Friday. Also had to make sure YJ and GLTAS fans stay strong for the coming two months. So far we boosted our ratings, got the attention of Cartoon Network, and made #SaveYJandGLTAS the highest trend on Twitter last Saturday. But still, no good news from CN. We're not backing down. This Saturdays Live Tweet tag is #AntiReach.
Ok I got a bunch of reviews from The Blue Snow Bunny. All I can say is that I'm happy you love the story, and thanks for reviewing. And thank you also to strawberryneighborhoods (It's too good of a show, of course YJ can't be cancelled) and Anony mouse101 for reviewing.
Now, I really think you're going to love this one.
Jack was in bed when he heard a knock on his door. He opened his eyes and saw that it was still dark outside. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and he rolled over on his bed to face the door. No sound came from behind the door, so Jack just shrugged it off. Probably some dream, he thought. As he closed his eyes, he heard more knocking fallowed by, "Jack, are you awake?"
Jack sat up on is bed and whispered. "I am now."
"Oh, sorry." Elizabeth sounded scared.
Jack started to worry, so he said, "It's ok, come on in."
She opened the door quickly and jumped on Jack's bed. She held her stuffed cat toy in a tight hug and said. "I'm sorry I woke you up."
"It's ok, it was for a good reason, right?" Jack looked at his sister as she pulled her knees up to her chest. "Why are you awake at this time of night?" Jack asked.
"I-I got scared." Elizabeth answered with a quiver in her voice.
"By what?"
Elizabeth looked around and said, "Because there is something under my bed."
"And that would be what?"
"I don't know that's what's scary. I think-I think it's the Boogeyman."
Jack chuckled silently, "There is no such thing as the Boogeyman."
"Yes there is. Jeff says so."
"Why would you listen to Jefferson Burgess?"
"I don't know, but I saw the shadows move. He has to be right."
Jack rolled his eyes and looked at his staff. He had left it out of the closet since Elizabeth found it about 2 months ago. He kept it for reasons unknown, but now he could use it to help his sister. Jack got off the bed, picked up his staff and said, "Let's go to your room."
"Wha-Why?"
"Because I'm going to show you a little trick." He said walking out of his room. Jack turned to the right and stopped in front of the room next to his. He looked back at his to see Elizabeth standing there with wide eyes.
She held her stuffed cat tighter and said, "What if the Boogeyman gets you?"
"He won't." Jack reassured her with his famous smirk. He held out the hand that was not holding his staff. "Here."
Elizabeth took tiny steps forward and grabbed o to his hand. "Now what?"
"We walk in." Jack opened the door to Elizabeth's room. Jack walked in slowly, the room was quiet. It seemed like the room was darker than it was outside. Jack tensed as he suddenly felt like he and Elizabeth weren't alone. That's impossible, Jack thought. Jack looked at his sister, she was practically shaking. He had to be brave, he had to say something. "See, no one else is here."
"What about the bed?" She suggested. Jack looked at the bed, and then he walked up to it. Suddenly, a shadow moved from under it. Jack's eyes widened. He turned to Elizabeth and saw her at the entrance to the door. Her eyes were full of fear, fear of the unknown.
Jack thought quickly and said, "There is nothing under the bed." He tried to hide the fear in his voice, but Elizabeth noticed. Jack went down on his knees and took a breath. He kept telling himself that there was nothing under there. The more he thought, the less fear he felt. With all the courage Jack had, he looked under the bed and saw…. Nothing. "HA, see, nothing under the bed."
Elizabeth gasped and ran to the bed, She looked down and saw nothing either. "But it must have left, it might have moved. There is something, there is."
The joy Jack had for not finding anything vanished. He was so close to convincing her, he just needed to prove to her one last time. Jack looked at his staff and had an idea. He looked around the room to see if he could find a weapon of any kind. Jack found a broom and grabbed it, handing it to Elizabeth. "Take this and sit on the bed." Elizabeth didn't question him and fallowed his order. One both of them were on the bed, Jack said, "See my staff." She nodded. "Let's pretend it's a sword, a sword that can take out anything." I held out my staff and pointed it at nothing. "Now you try." I pointed to the broom she held. "Pretend it's a sword. Whatever you see, just point at them. Whatever it is will be afraid and run off."
"Jack, this is silly."
"No it isn't, what is silly is the idea of monster under your bed. Just hold it out."
Elizabeth sighed and held out her broom. Jack held out his staff and looked at his sister. She stared at the ground most of the time, her eyes searching something. Then all of a sudden, her eyes widen and she jumped off the bed. With her broom, Elizabeth swung her broom and yelled, "Die, shadow things, die!" Jack just looked at her as if she had gone crazy. When she stopped, Elizabeth said, "I did it! Their gone!"
"See I told you there was nothing to be afraid of." Jack said getting off the bed.
The door swung open and their mom stumbled in, "What is going on?" She yelled.
"Mother! I took down the shadow things, Jack taught me, he-"
"There are no shadow things." Their father said from behind her mother.
"I know that now." Elizabeth said. She turned to her brother, "Thanks to Jack."
Jack smiled with pride, but quickly disappeared when his mother said, "To. Bed. Now!"
"Sorry." He said and ran out the room to the hall. "Good night." He said in a cheery voice. Then he walked into his room.
A.N: I got the idea when I went to the Rise of the Guardians art panel sometime last November. There was a concept art of North teaching a kid to use a normal stick and pretending it was a sword to use against the dark. The same panel I met Sophie's voice actor. I also needed to refrence Pitch at some point. There will be more Pitch refrences very soon because of reasons. I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out
